We have been to Seraphine multiple times previously and we have always been happy with the food. This time was much less satisfactory. I ordered Oysters Rockefeller, which is a well established dish in which oysters on the half shell are cooked with spinach with a little cream and cheese. This version had oysters, minus their shells, lost below a mound of cream and cheese-I had to search for them-and it was overly rich. The shrimp and grits second course was much richer than when we had had it here previously and again excessively rich and caloric. Do you have a new chef? Is this a new strategy to make the food really creamy and rich? Either way, we found this a very disappointing visit.

Every dish was absolutely delicious. From the small plates to the salad to the main course. And the key lime pie was best ever! I can rarely say that absolutely everything I ordered was a peak culinary experience but I can say it here. Can’t wait to go back.

Had pre-show dinner and drinks at Seraphine for the first time. I was so impressed with the atmosphere, and most of all the service! Our bartender was patient, and helpful. Our friendly mixologist helped us select the right amount of food, and drinks (which were delicious!). Then, exceeded our expectations by timing everything just right. I will say the artichoke starter was my favorite!! Will definitely return soon, and try the oysters.

Seraphine NEVER disappoints! I’ve tried virtually every offering, and they all are consistently delicious. And the portions are just the right size and the cocktails are beautifully mixed! The service is also always outstanding, as is the festive but not overly noisy atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to show off Durham’s food scene to friends from out of town!
